      @RetroRick said in where do I put the CREDENTIALS from SCREENSCRAPER.fr in retropie for SkyScraper OR SS Scraper?:

      $HOME .emulationstation/downloaded_media
      but will not show up on the metadata screen, nor play.

      You might have an existing gamelist that's overriding the one generated by the scraper.

      @mitu
      Okay, I know that now.
      It seems like it would tell you something different than ask for user if the repository was missing or deleted.
